About our window mastic in Burnt Oak
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and white mastic on grey or black frames.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Burnt Oak as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Burnt Oak
With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 4.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burnt Oak as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book.
For landlords with property near Mill Hill Broadway station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as John Keble Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. As a London address, Burnt Oak can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What affects the quote in Burnt Oak
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about window mastic in Burnt Oak
Is parking an issue for window mastic in Burnt Oak?
Parking in Burnt Oak, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you do window mastic in Burnt Oak?
Yes, Burnt Oak is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a flat in Burnt Oak, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In Burnt Oak, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
